[Talk-us] Hey, look! State / Prov borders!

[mike.onines at juno.com]

Eww, a bit of a mess right now.  Maybe I'm just seeing a wierd snapshot, but several states are labeled twice, and most are labeled at the lower right corner of the state (with the state name crossing into its neighbors.)
With only 50 states to worry about, is this something 1 person should take on and clean up.  The shotgun approach seems to be missing the mark at the moment.
Hopefully I'm just being premature and most of this is already cleaned up and will be done with the next tile render...

Near the geometric center of the state, I'd think.  Looks like:

place=state
name=South Carolina      # for z5+, so this is the one missing for
Nunavut (or To Be Rendered)
ref=SC                            # for z4

is the new way to go.

Big improvement.
